At the beginning of May Stone Matrix Asphalt will be placed going West Bound in conjunction while the Micro Surfacing is going East Bound.

Bike Path
The work in the Highline Canal area is completed except for one minor item of 2 signs to be placed. Concrete repairs will resume at Quincy and move east. It will take approximately 11 weeks to complete the work from Quincy to Quebec. During the work, some minor closures or detours may be required. Bicyclists are asked to dismount from their bicycles to get around our work zone for safety issues.
